No politically correct answers appreciated, why do you think people have such a hard time dating, or finding someone that meets their standards?

I see some people say in half kidding fashion (My friends are getting hitched, but for me there's no girlfriend in sight), or sometimes people will joke with someone and say you be getting all the men, right" So what are some reasons why some people don't know anybody that meets their standards, or why some guys can't get no women, etc

[OlderAndWiser]

There are a very few guys who have such horrible physical disfigurements that no one could be attracted, but that is a very small number of guys.

Most guys who don't develop relationships suffer from a lack of self-confidence. Some of them have not developed social skills because they have hidden in the digital world rather than learning to talk to women face-to-face. Some of them have unrealistic expectations for a dating partner. Some of them say they want to date, because they are afraid/ashamed/embarrassed to admit otherwise, but the idea of dating scares the hell out of them and they are very reluctant to make real efforts at dating.

Obesity epidemic and the depolarization of the masculine/feminine dynamic that is the basis of sexual dimorphism. That's 50% of it. Another 25% is modern feminism making men and women hate each other, instead of loving male/female nature. And the last 25% is the modern laws surrounding divorce have made marriage a terrible deal for men, so relationships become kind of pointless, and sex is really the only value. Which doesn't require relationships.

For women it’s because they’re too smart and stubborn to put up with any sort of bullshit from a man and are secure enough in themselves to happily or at least rather be single. For men it’s because they’re either a weird stubborn, mean asshole or a wuss with submissive energy.

So with females it's all about how amazing they are, and for males it's all about how terrible we are? This response confirms a few of my points actually.

Men/Boys have been trashed wholly over the past 30 years. This has caused a lot of boys to become lost drifting losers.

Social media has created a lot of hoeflation. Every 3/10 chick on the internet can post herself online and will have thousands of simps begging for her attention. This gives women an inflated sense of self-worth. None of which they've actually earned.

It's created the perfect storm of mis-matched sexual dynamics, and you'll see average 20 something girls legitimately feeling like they deserve a 9/10 making over 6 figures while they provide nothing to the relationship.

People they're too selfish and only want what's best for themselves and not what's best for the one they want to be with. It's usually very one sided every time. With the women wanting it all and the men giving it all and recieving the bare minimum in return.

hoeflation (nothing that needs to be said)

women prioritizing superficial traits above personality traits

men being taught wrong dating advice from feminist society

[LiamJHayden]

Guys: porn addiction. It creates absurd expectations that 95%+ of women cannot meet.

Women: Social media. Seeing huge numbers of average women saying the guy needs to be 6' + and earn $250K+ creates absurd expectations that 95%+ of men cannot meet.

Its highly complicated and people often make it even more difficult

Because the Internet was the best and worst invention ever.

Most people aren't introspective enough to be mature enough to have a healthy relationship. People cope by lying to themselves.

Because that's what the system wants to prevent breeding for a couple of decades to curb overpopulation
